The Straatmann Group

"Charlynn and Jim Straatmann were wonderful to work with while helping my fiancé and me purchase our first home. They were knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of our questions, explain each step clearly, and make us feel confident in our decisions. We are so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
"

"The Straatmann team is truly exceptional and professional, their dedication has been truly commendable. We’re profoundly appreciative of their knowledge, guidance, and hard work, which go far beyond just being an agent. Highly recommend them, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work with them.

"As first-time home buyers, my husband and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing when we first met the Straatmann Group. We actually weren’t even planning to buy yet — we just saw a cute gray house on Zillow with an open house and thought it would be fun to check it out. At the time, we were nowhere near financially ready.

Jim and Charlynn were hosting the open house, and from the very beginning they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and informative. We were completely honest about where we stood, and they didn’t judge us or pressure us at all. Instead, they helped us understand the process and set realistic goals for what we needed to do to eventually buy a home.

About a year and a half later, while the cute gray house was long gone, Jim and Charlynn helped us find a home that exceeded all of our expectations. They made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. They handled the heavy lifting and simply guided us on when and what we needed to do, which was invaluable as first-time buyers.

What really sets the Straatmann Group apart is their full team approach. While Jim and Charlynn were the faces we worked with, we had amazing support behind the scenes every step of the way. Theresa Green walked us through the financial side and made everything clear and manageable. Jennifer helped us secure amazing home and auto insurance. Beth guided us through setting up utilities and getting final paperwork completed. Every single person we interacted with was helpful, responsive, and genuinely cared about making this a smooth experience.

We truly felt supported from our very first “just for fun” open house visit all the way to closing. If you’re a first-time home buyer — or even if you’re not — I can’t recommend the Straatmann Group enough. They’re knowledgeable, patient, organized, and they go above and beyond to make the home-buying process as easy as possible.

"

"The Straatmann Group went above and beyond throughout the entire process. When you want someone to do more than put a sign in your yard but help guide you through the entire process this is your team."

"I really enjoyed working with you (Charlynn) on our closing with the client. You (Charlynn) and Beth did everything necessary to make it happen on the date we originally planned, which can be unusual for more complex transactions. Just wanted you to know how pleased I was with the closing."

"This was my first time working with Erica on a purchase transaction and it’s been a pleasure. She is a strong communicator and negotiator who strives for 100% client satisfaction. I hope to work with her again very soon!"

"My husband and I are using Charlynn as our buyer’s agent for a new build. I can’t say enough good things about Charlynn Straatmann. If you want an agent on your side and someone that looks out for your best interest, don’t look any further. She is always there for you whatever time of day or night. She is not scared to standup for what’s right. She has been there every step of the way to make sure everything has gone smoothly for us. I will definitely recommend Charlynn and The Straatmann group to everyone looking for a Real Estate agent. We will never use anyone else in the future. Thank You Charlynn for everything you have and are still doing for us.

"Erica and Elizabeth of the Straatmann Group are amazing professionals. We worked closely together over the past few months assisting a mutual client with a challenging move and sell. Erica meticulously searched for the right fit for her client - proving that her focus is always on meeting the need of her clients. Ultimately, we were the perfect match and were able to successfully navigate the client to a successful sell while working together as a team to maintain client confidence. We would not hesitate to send our referrals to such a caring and knowledgeable group of people.
"

"After unsuccessfully trying to sell our home back in 2022 with another company, Jim and Charlynn visited us and told us that they could and would sell our home. We loved the way that they would aggressively check with us knowing that we were hesitant on trying to sell again. They were persistent and told us that their specialty was selling “unsold homes”, after realizing how much of a “go-getter” they were we knew they were the right agents to re-list our home. We appreciate the professionalism with which they handled every step of the process. It really made this time around much easier. In fact, our home set a new record of the highest sell price in the neighborhood.

We especially loved the way that we felt heard. They really always made sure we all were on the same page. They are very intuitive and it was as almost they could read our minds as far as the details of our home and what we thought made it special, what we wanted and needed to do, and the move itself

Their energy and personal care is amazing! The entire time we knew they were working for US, not themselves. We have and will continue personally recommending them and their team to friends, family and our former neighbors. If you’re considering buying, selling or both please consider them! If not, please pass their info to someone you know that is!

"Charlynn, Jim, and team are truly second to none. The Straatmann Group guided me and my wife through finding and purchasing our first home, and we could not be happier with the experience from day one. We never felt like “just another client,” as the team constantly provided personalized care, and were extremely patient as we changed some search parameters and requirements throughout the process. They have amazing industry knowledge and outstanding work ethic, as well as the underrated ability to simply get things done. The Straatmann Group is VERY highly recommended, and we will absolutely be repeat clients in the future!
